The stock boost gauge is pretty useless. The units are difficult to decipher and it lacks markings. It's slow to respond to changes in boost pressure and will not really read spikes or anything well.
You can get a VDO or Autometer boost gauge pretty cheap.
When you go to New Zealand you see why it seems like there are more "Skylines" there. There probably are. The thing is most of them are NA 4 door R32's used as family cars and very much not looked after. I saw very very few turbos when I was there.
Its a bit sad to see them all driving around filthy as with unappreciative drivers.
Dude you are an idiot.
Gas filled what? A valve like this works using a spring and a diaphragm. Are you thinking we're all complete morons or something?
"Gas keeps the temps inside the valve down"? Are you a complete imbecile and believe your own BS? What relevance does the temperature of a bleed valve have to anything.
Go and crawl back under the rock from whence you came little man.
Are you trying to use imperial spanners or something? Most of the Japanese stuff is going to be metric. I find on the skyline that 8, 10 and 12mm spanners are most useful.
Same... its hard.
I think learning Kanji is all about just immersing yourself in it and learning about the particles and the origins of them and stuff.
Being an ideographic language helps a tiny bit, but that will only get you so far. My example is the Kanji for Ni ( 日 ), as in Nihon ( 日本 ) looks like a box with a line in it. That is supposed to represent the sun? Hon is the word for book (looks a bit like a tree with a stick across it and is in fact a derivative of the tree Kanji (木 ) but it's also the word for origin.. The word Nihon is literally "the origin of the sun" or "the land of the rising sun" AKA Japan. Thats how i remember everything... Only about 50000000 more of these things to go.
Usually those kinds of ideograph lead me down the path of frustration. Sure those ones are easy to remember but they get silly. Ask a fluent Japanese/Chinese person to write the Kanji for Dragon and prepare to throw your arms up in the air
I dont see me learning 5000 Kanji anytime soon. I probably know about 20 basic particles which means i can read a couple of words max. Im basically useless.
I think he meant it in a self-deprecating manner guys... as in "when you are 19 you think that it's ok to do that" and that now he realises the error of his ways.
So quick to flame here...
If you're just learning Katakana and/or Hiragana in your own time without professional assistance you might find it difficult to find ways to study.
I was using flash cards and a girlfriend but those tools are now unecessary!
Check this free software out:

Its just a simple, free flash card software that displays a Kana and you type in what sound you think it is.
Helped me
Yeah saw it on the news last night. Was a black TT 300zx. Launched into the air and went through the roof of a factory about 10metres high. I guess an embankment was involved.
Definatly was not doing 200 or anywhere near it as the damage to the building and car wasnt huge.
Yeah you can buy clips like that at supercheap, autobarn, autoone, any auto shop, any wreckers, etc.
Pick and payless type places you can just put them in your pocket and leave.
Thats pretty much the stupidest thing i've ever heard. Bagging out the local manufacturers building pretty much the same stuff the Japanese people do only cheaper.
Maybe we should import all our parts and pay $11tybillion every time we need something.
Yes i have one. I have the English version and the original Japanese one.
Make me an offer and you can have them. I bought them on ebay for the hell of it and now the novelty has worn off.
